• On Wednesday, April 24, dentists affiliated with Atlantic Coast Dental Research Clinic, aided by Palm Beach State Dental Health students, will treat adults, 18 and older, at the Dental Health building on the Lake Worth campus. Due to time and space limitations, a maximum of 50 patients will be seen for the day, and treatment will be limited to fillings and extractions. By focusing the treatment in this way, the dentists will be able to do the most good and bring relief to low-income adults who have put off this type of treatment due to the cost.

As a result, the dentists will not perform dental check-ups, cleanings or advanced dental work, such as crowns and bridges.

COMMUNITY City of Boca Raton Students Win Palm State College Student Statewide Competition for Youth Awarded Prestigious Scholarship Council

The City of Boca Raton’s Community Advisory Panel Youth Subcommittee was one of the five city youth councils to win the 2019 Municipal Youth Council Community Service Contest, sponsored by the Florida League of Cities. This statewide community service contest showcases community service projects performed by municipal youth councils that successfully address specific needs in their local communities.

The Youth Subcommittee was established by the Community Advisory Panel (CAP), a board created by the Boca Raton City Council. The CAP provides a public forum for residents to express their concerns and initiatives regarding the quality of life issues in Boca Raton.

Several of the Council-appointed panel members are high school and college students who advocated to start a Youth

of beaches, Boca Raton is home to the renowned sea turtle rehabilitation facility, Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. Keeping local beaches clean and free of plastic was recognized by the Youth Subcommittee as an issue that affected the oceans and local ecosystems. The Subcommittee scheduled several beach cleanups throughout the year and educated volunteers to find the tiny pieces of plastic that cause harm to sea life in and around the oceans and city beaches. Because of Boca Raton’s coastal location, LEAD participants spent time outside, working next to each other with a common purpose. Over 30 beach cleanups resulted in the collection of over 200 pounds of trash.

In addition to beach cleanups, the Youth Subcommittee planted over 30 trees around the community, cleaned and restored one of Boca Raton’s most

Subcommittee of the panel. The subcommittee focuses on youth concerns and initiatives and invites local students to participate in regular meetings. They also encourage student participation in local government activities.

The Youth Subcommittee was recognized by the Florida League of Cities for the LEAD Green Community Service project (Local youth, Environmental leaders, Action-oriented, Dedicated to sustainability). This new initiative empowers and encourages young volunteer groups from different schools to collaborate. As a result, several environmental projects such as planting trees, nature trail rehabilitation and beach cleanups have been completed. The goal of LEAD is to preserve the environment for future generations, to make positive contributions to the City, and provide awareness to the residents.

The Youth Subcommittee focused on beach cleanups as part of the community service award. With five miles

historic nature trails and had over 300 student volunteers assist in various projects. Community service efforts by members of the Youth Subcommittee were recognized by the Mayor and City Council in a proclamation naming March 2019 as Youth Citizenry Month.

Other municipal youth council winners include City of Haines City Youth Advisory Council, City of Homestead Mayor’s Youth Council, City of West Palm Beach Mayor’s Youth Council and City of West Park Youth Council.

Contest winners will receive a trophy, be recognized at the League’s Annual Conference, be featured in the League’s statewide publication, Quality Cities (QC) magazine, and have their projects featured on the League’s websites and social media accounts.

Downtown Boca Unveils Directional Pavement Signage

Downtown Boca has installed a series of directional pavement signs designed to highlight downtown attractions and help guide visitors around, while also providing pedestrians a little bit of art in an unexpected place – at ground level.

The pavement signs, which look like decals on the sidewalks, were designed to assist the growing number of visitors to the downtown district.

Each sign highlights two downtown attractions, and guides visitors to them with directional arrows and the estimated number of feet to reach each destination. For example, a visitor standing on E. Boca Raton Road in front of Sanborn Square will learn they can turn right and reach Mizner Park in

532 feet, or turn left and reach Royal Palm Place in 1,267 feet.

Additionally, the signage provides colorful visual interest on the ground to all locals and visitors, while further branding Downtown Boca. A total of 24 signs are located throughout the downtown district and feature such attractions as Mizner Park, Sanborn Square, Royal Palm Place, the Cultural Center, Museums, Visitor’s Center, Parks, the Amphitheater, Recreation and more.

“The pavement signs promote Downtown Boca’s top attractions and show our visitors the ability to easily walk to each one – as we are a very walkable downtown. We hope they are helpful, visually appealing and enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.” says Downtown Manager, Ruby Childers.

The pavement signs are the first phase in a broader directional system for Downtown Boca. In-ground wayfinding signs are scheduled to be installed later this year.

The Passing of the Torch

Tears, laughter and fond memories showed the closeness that exists in the Delray Beach Police Department as the force and community said goodbye to one chief and welcomed another in a special ceremony recently.

The officers and community honored their outgoing chief, Jeffrey Goldman, and welcomed the new leader, Javaro Sims, during an unusual change of command ceremony at Atlantic High School auditorium.

It was the first time in the 92-year history of the agency that a formal ceremony, which followed much of the military protocol, was held.

Previous transition ceremonies were more private and pro forma.

Among the highlights was the unveiling of the Chiefs’ flag, which

listed each chief in the agency’s history and his tenure.

In his last words as police chief, an emotional Goldman thanked the community for its support as well as his officers and staff for their help.

This event was all the more poignant for some when Goldman radioed into the dispatch center for the last time to go 10-7 (police lingo for out of service).

The dispatcher thanked him for his 30 years of service and bid him Godspeed.

Goldman retired from the position after five years as chief, and three decades in the Delray Beach police department. He will begin a job as head of security for American Express.

Kudos to Detective Paul Pitti who did a remarkable job as an

entertaining master of ceremonies, and to interim city manager Neal de Jesus, who praised Goldman as a great leader and friend, and offered Sims some sage advice.

Shortly before 7:30 p.m., Sims affirmed the oath of office, administered by City Clerk Katerri Johnson, as the city’s first AfricanAmerican police chief and its 16th overall.

In a lean message, he thanked his family and reiterated his vision for the agency to be a model for efficiency, effectiveness, professionalism and collaboration – one community.

Sims had an early opportunity to shape his command: with the changing of the chief came a rolling series of promotions. He promoted Lt. Gene Sapino to assistant chief, Lt. Russ Mager to captain, Sgt. Jeff

Rasor to lieutenant and patrolman Hannes Schoeferle to sergeant.

While faces are changing, there will not be large changes in how the department operates or works with the community.

The command staff will support each other and continue to push the department to great accomplishments, said Sims, who has been a strong advocate for community-based policing.

As Sims accepts the torch, I leave with him David’s charge to his son, Solomon, in 1 Kings chapter 2: “Be strong and observe what the lord your god requires. Walk in his ways and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go.”

And I know Chief Sims understands that quite well.

Dealing With Trouble!

Trouble accompanies all humans - some more than others. In certain cases, there are those who bring it upon themselves, while in others, most individuals just face what inevitably comes to all earthly dwellers who are part of the human race!

Yet, this latter possibility is more easy to handle and in most cases it’s also temporary!

In some ways, troubles begin in infancy, and certain kinds tend to accompany those who experience it throughout their pilgrimage in the world, in varying degrees.

Many can be avoided, while others are part of the human condition. I’m not alluding to physical maladies which affect several humans, though even in this area there are potential troubles which can be avoided,

May 3 - May 9, 2019

based on one’s wise or foolish life choices!

Unfortunately, for lack of direction, or limited life principles, there are several who experience trouble with greater intensity than others. Not that they are wired for that experience but because, in most instances, they fail to learn the lessons that can keep them from falling repeatedly into trouble, or for lacking the resources to come out of it, in case they are surprised by it unexpectedly.

Through the disobedience of children and youth, on account of disrespect for authority, and sometimes due to varied, unwise choices, many youngsters (and adults as well) face troubles which can plague them for life, and keep them from advancing into a potential which earlier they

manifested possessing!

Some others, fortunately, may get into trouble once, but quickly recognize their error and determine never to repeat what initially brought them into that condition. One mistake was sufficient for them to learn their lesson and avoid what would augment in intensity, and lead them into harsher consequences.

And that is the preferred choice, and wise decision which some make. As indicated before, there are troubles which one faces, which could not have been avoided; the person had no part in creating them, nor the circumstances that made them real and cruel.

Troubles need to be dealt with as quickly as they affect an individual.

www.bocaratontribune.com

Troubles should never be accumulated before seeking a solution, and acting to impede their re-occurrence. One who waits too long and doesn’t act promptly in their resolution and removal, may be engulfed in situations difficult to be stopped.

In general, most troubles can be avoided as one lives out of solid convictions, impelled by good character which always avails anyone in times of crisis. No act of dishonesty is ever secret; it’s soon discovered. Many think and try to get away with anything, until they ultimately discover that they can’t. But by living an honest, wise life, and doing everything in an open, clean manner, seldom trouble will affect such individual, by choosing the best way!

Is The Idea Of Serving Others ‘Below’ You?

Milagro Center Gala On Saturday evening I attended a fundraiser gala for the Milagro Center at the Loft on Congress along with several friends. A large band and two ballet dancers were enjoyed by the crowd. There was a silent auction and a live auction as well

Once in a while I come across a quotation that causes me to stop to ponder, and then conclude, “You know, that is exactly right.” One of them, by some fellow who goes by the name “Anonymous,” declares, “If serving is below you, leadership is beyond you.”

I have read many books on leadership, but cannot think of any statement more profound than the one above. Too often we perceive leaders as individuals who issue orders, write memos that read more like mandates, and establish goals for everyone else to accomplish. But the most powerful, most influential leaders are those who understand the impact of serving others.

The late business executive and author of several books on leadership, Max DePree, stated, “The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.” According to Mahatma Gandhi, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Both seem to run counter to what we usually observe from many “leaders” in the workplace.

Then there is the longer, but highly insightful observation by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Not everybody can be famous. But everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve…. You don’t have to know Einstein’s theory of relativity to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.” Robert K. Greenleaf, author of the aptly titled book, Servant Leadership, wrote, “The first and most important choice a leader

makes is the choice to serve, without which one’s capacity to lead is severely limited.”

Reviewing my own career, there is no question that the bosses who had the most positive impact on my life were those who maintained an attitude of being servants. Yes, they had responsibilities to fulfill, along with goals and objectives to meet every day. But I always felt they had my best interests at heart, that their desire was to help me succeed, or as one expressed it, “to enable you to flourish.”

The ultimate example of the servant leader was Jesus Christ. In fact, speaking of Himself, Jesus made this striking, perhaps even shocking declaration: “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

During His time on earth, Jesus offered profound lessons to those who followed Him. He healed many that came to Him suffering from a variety of afflictions and diseases. But most of all, He served by surrendering His own life on a cross, becoming the atoning sacrifice – theologians call it the “propitiation” for the sins of mankind.

On another occasion, Jesus made clear this principle of servanthood was not just for Himself, but for all who choose to follow Him. “For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not to the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves”(Luke 22:27). The apostle Peter summed it up, writing about self-sacrifice, “To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps”(1 Peter 2:21).

FAU Diplomacy Team Awarded 2019 Distinguished Delegation

The Leon Charney Diplomacy Program at Florida Atlantic University recently received the Distinguished Delegation Award at the National Model United Nations competition in New York City.

A team of 30 FAU undergraduates joined more than 5,000 college students from 350 universities in the annual competition where schools represent countries and students step into the shoes of diplomats to solve global problems.

The Leon Charney Diplomacy Program, which trains students in world affairs, dispute resolution and debate, was

established in 1996 and is a unit of the Peace, Justice and Human Rights Initiative.

To date, the program has won 33 national and international awards for academic excellence.

“I am so proud of our students and their hard work and dedication,” said Annette LaRocco, Ph.D., associate director of the Leon Charney Diplomacy Program. “We are fortunate to have them represent FAU.”

In 2017, the program was named to honor the diplomatic legacy of Leon Charney, who played a key role in the 1978 Camp David Accords. FAU will next compete in nationals in Washington, D.C. in November where it will defend its 2018 first-place finish.

Summer youth programs return to two PBSC campuses

Two popular summer programs for youth are relaunching this year at Palm Beach State College.

Summer Youth College will be held at the Boca Raton campus June 3-Aug. 2 for children 8 to 12. The Summer Youth Arts Program will run from June 3- July 25 on the Lake Worth campus with workshops for youth 8 to 17. Classes will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Monday through Thursday.

Pre-camp and post-camp options are available for parents who need earlier drop-off or later pickup times.

The College had offered the programs at various campuses for years to give parents educational and fun options for their children, but they were put on hold for last year.

Summer Youth College, organized by the Corporate and Continuing Education department, focuses on science, literature, arts and math. Participants can choose up to two classes each day, and each class will run at the same time and day each week for the whole eight weeks. Classes are $120 each.

The program has been well-received by the community through the years, said

Edition 410 - 9

Jillian Iorio, summer youth specialist.

“The demand is why we’re bringing it back.”

Participants in the Summer Youth Arts program, hosted by the Humanities Division, will choose from among 12 workshops ranging from fine arts and film production to recording arts and Latin dance that will run throughout the eight weeks.

The cost is $179 per week, which is reduced to $159 for the fifth week because of the Fourth of July holiday. Laura Stevens, coordinator of the Summer Youth Arts program, said she is seeing record enrollment with more than 300 students already registered. “A lot of parents contacted the College looking to get the program back.”

An open house for the Summer Youth Arts Program will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 4 in the Humanities building on the Lake Worth campus.

For more details, visit www. palmbeachstate.edu/SYC for Summer Youth College or www.palmbeachstate. edu/SYAP for the Summer Youth Arts program.

It’s Official, They’re Doctors!

It’s official. The 55 members of the class of 2019 are among the nation’s newest physicians. Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine held its fifth commencement ceremony in the Carole and Barry Kaye Auditorium, celebrating a long-anticipated day as it conferred the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degrees to the graduating class. Family, friends, faculty and dignitaries filled the auditorium for the commencement ceremony.

Last month, all 55 members of the class of 2019 achieved a 100 percent match for residency programs, which are required for physicians to become license-eligible (board certified).

“Like running a marathon, your training in medical school has been a timeintensive commitment of mental and physical endurance,” said Phillip M. Boiselle, M.D., dean of FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine. “As physicians, you will face many finish lines in your careers. When your legs get tired and the journey seems impossibly long, remember that your patients along with your family, friends, and mentors will be your sustenance. As dean, it is incredibly gratifying to see each of you cross the finish line of medical school today and comforting to know that you are well prepared for many more finish lines in your lives as medical doctors. Congratulations class of 2019!”

U.S. Congresswoman Donna Shalala (D-FL-27) provided the keynote address during the ceremony. Shalala represents Florida’s 27th District, which includes most of Miami-Dade County. She recently returned to Washington where she served as secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the Clinton administration for eight years. She is one of the most honored academics of her generation, and has been elected to seven national academies including the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Education.

“You are some of the most powerful women and men in the world for one simple reason. You have the power to help people every day – think of the lives that you will enrich,” said Shalala. “You have made an exceptional choice of profession and your work is just beginning. I admire your commitment, I respect your desire to serve and to heal and I have great confidence in your resolve to help build a better world. Congratulations, good luck and God speed.”

The symbolic rite of passage from one generation of physicians to the next generation during the “hooding” ceremony was truly a “family affair” this year and the largest in the college’s history. Eighteen members of the class of 2019 were hooded by parents, grandparents, siblings and spouses.

Larry Brickman, M.D., an associ-

May 3 - May 9, 2019

ate professor of surgery, director of clinical education in surgery and a retired major in the U.S. Army Reserve, administered the officer’s oath during the ceremony to Benjamin R. Childs, M.D., captain, who will serve in the United States Army.

Stuart L. Markowitz, M.D., senior associate dean of student affairs and admissions, Sarah Wood, M.D., senior associate dean for medical education, and Jennifer Caceres, M.D., assistant dean for student affairs, all in FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine, presented four awards and later announced and hooded the M.D. candidates during the graduation ceremony.

“Class of 2019, you are exceptional and we couldn’t be more proud of your hard work, commitment and perseverance to become physicians,” said Markowitz.

“You leave behind an impressive imprint of your contributions and accomplishments as medical students at Florida Atlantic University and we wish you continued success in all of your endeavors.”

In line with the medical school’s mission, one-third or 21 members of the graduating class is entering primary care specialties, which include internal medicine, pediatrics, family medicine, and obstetrics/ gynecology. Nearly one-third of the class also matched in highly specialized fields that are among the most competitive in the match process, including urology, ophthalmology, dermatology, radiation oncology, and orthopedic specialties, among others.

Among the various Florida institutions where FAU’s class of 2019 placed are Jackson Memorial Hospital; Orlando Health; the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine/Holy Cross; the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine; the University of Florida College of Medicine-Shands Hospital; the University of Central Florida College of Medicine/GME Consortium; Florida Hospital; Broward Health Medical Center; and FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine.

The class of 2019 also placed in several top institutions nationally, including Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire; Northwestern McGaw/Lurie Children’s in Chicago; Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia; Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville; Baylor College of Medicine in Houston; the University of Chicago Medical Center in Chicago; and the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.

Following the graduation ceremony, the class of 2019 and guests enjoyed a special reception in the Live Oak Pavilion generously underwritten by Michael T.B. Dennis, M.D., a member of FAU’s Board of Trustees and chair of the advisory board for FAU’s College of Medicine.

Michael Phelps To Speak At Inaugural Best Of Palm Beach County Preps

The most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps, will be the special guest at the inaugural Best of Palm Beach County Preps awards dinner May 24, 2019 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center.

Phelps will participate in a Q&A session during the awards dinner and take photos with student athlete award winners.

“Mark your calendars now! This will be a once-in-a-lifetime evening that our high school athletes, families and coaches will never forget,” Palm Beach Post Publisher Tim Burke said.

As a child, Michael Phelps suffered from attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and was encouraged to take up swimming at the age of 7 as an out-

let to control his energy. In 2016, at the age of 31, Phelps retired with a total of 23 Olympic gold medals, three silvers and two bronzes. Phelps currently holds the world record for the most Olympic

officials also are looking forward to hearing Phelps.

“We are very excited to cosponsor this community event that serves to showcase the exceptional high school talent in Palm Beach County. We are also proud to welcome Michael Phelps as the keynote speaker as he serves to provide all of us a reminder of that which is possible when you put your mind to it,” said Dr. Gary Vonk, president of Keiser University’s flagship campus.

“High school students throughout the community will have something to cherish from this countywide recognition.”

Gaston Cantens, vice president of Florida Crystals, said, “It’s an amazing opportunity for our local student-athletes to get to hear from a legend like Michael Phelps.

They will be inspired by the story of an individual who dedicated himself to his sport and not only made his dreams come true but also carved out a place for himself in history.”

SPORTS Boca Raton FC Makes it Five in a Row, defeat Vultures 1-0 at The Shipyard

Ever since losing the first game of the 2019 United Premier Soccer League season, Boca Raton Football Club has been on a row, winning five straight games which put them one point behind table leader PSL United.

On Friday, April 26, Boca Raton FC defeated Vultures FC at The Shipyard at Atlantic High School 1-0 to move into second place in the standings.

With the support of their home crowd, the boys in blue were able to begin the game strong. Boca Raton FC had some great early chances versus the sloppy Vultures backline but was unable to convert on anything thanks to great play by the Vultures goalkeeper.

Vultures FC soon found their groove and was able to go toe-to-toe with the home side, giving a strong performance.

The breakthrough came in the second half when forward Ryan Price was taken down in the penalty box and Boca Raton FC was awarded the penalty kick.

Price took the penalty cooly to the right side of the net, just out of the reach of the Vultures keeper to give Boca Raton FC the 1-0 lead and eventual win.

“It felt great to be able to give the team the win tonight,” said Price after the match. “We have been working extremely hard these last few games and our performances show it. We play for each other, and we play until that whistle blows, it’s never over.”

Boca Raton FC will now head back on the road to play Florida Wolves on May 4 before returning home on May 10 to face Vultures Black.

Palm Beach Baseball had 4 players named to the Southern Conference All-Conference Team. The Players in question are: Ray Sanchez (1st Team), Mason Doolittle (1st Team), Michael Demo (1st Team), and Jisjar Clotida (2nd Team).

Sanchez led the team in home runs (7) & RBI (31), whilst hitting .272 with a .376 on-base percentage. His 7 home runs tie him for 9th in the state.

Doolittle, who had his season

May 3 - May 9, 2019

cut short because of injury, still managed to finish 2nd on the team in RBI (31) whilst finishing 2nd on the team in batting average (.325).

Demo, arguably the Panthers’ top pitcher this season, finished the season 3-3, a 3.97 ERA, and 61 strikeouts in 56.2 innings.

Clotida led the team in batting average (.347) and finished 25th in the state and 2nd in the conference in batting average. He finished 2nd on the team in RBI (30).

FAU Women’s Soccer Adds Assistant Coach to Staff

With the 2019 campaign coming quick, the Florida Atlantic University women’s soccer team and head coach Patrick Baker are pleased to announce the addition of the program’s new assistant coach, in Nikki Brown.

“I am really excited to join the FAU women’s soccer program for the upcoming season,” said Brown. “Coach Baker has a fantastic reputation in college soccer because of his passion, success, and mentorship in the game. I am fully confident that under his leadership, this team will continue to reach great heights this fall after coming off their best season yet. I am extremely grateful to Coach Baker, Titus Queen, Mary Giardina, and the administration for granting me an opportunity to continue my coaching career at FAU. I can’t wait to get started with the team in August!”

Brown joins FAU from nearly six years as part of the staff at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama.

She joined the Gamecocks after a fantastic playing career at nearby North Alabama, beginning as a graduate assistant at JSU before eventually taking over the role as the program’s recruiting coordinator.

During her time there, Brown recruited players who were recognized with multiple All-Ohio Valley Conference honors, including All-OVC Second Team and All-Newcomer.

“I would like to take the time to thank Neil Macdonald at Jacksonville State University for his guidance and support during the past six years,” added Brown. “I will be always be truly grateful for the experience and knowledge I learned during my time as his assistant coach and I appreciate his encouragement to pursue this fantastic opportunity.”

Also during her coaching career, Brown worked with Northeast Alabama Fusion F.C. as head coach, as the striker director for No. 1 Soccer Camps, and as a

head and assistant coach with the Olympic Development Program in Birmingham.

Brown was a three-time Daktronics All-American at North Alabama, twice was named NSCAA All-South Region, and three times to the Daktronics All-South Region First Team as well.

All four years, she was an All-Gulf South Conference honoree. She helped lead the Lions to a 2011 GSC Conference Championship, and was as successful off the pitch as on, earning 2011 CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-American honors, and three times, was a recipient of the GSC “Top Ten” Award.

A native of Bognor Regis, England, Brown earned her undergraduate degree from UNA in physical education, graduating magna cum laude. While serving as JSU’s grad assistant, she completed her master’s work with a 4.0 GPA in sport management. She also completed her United Soccer Coaches Premier Diploma in January of 2019.

“We are excited to announce Nikki Brown has accepted an opportunity to join our women’s soccer staff here at FAU,” said Baker. “There was tremendous interest in the position from across the country and we felt fortunate to have so many talented candidates apply. As we narrowed the candidate pool, we felt good about our talks with Nikki and the work she had done with Neil Macdonald while at Jacksonville State University.

Nikki is a talented young coach that will bring a wealth of new ideas to our players and staff. We weren’t really looking for something specific to fill the role, but she ultimately checked all the boxes and then some after the interview. She is a good person who has a tremendous work ethic and will be a great role model for our young ladies. Nikki will be a great representative for FAU, the athletic department and the women’s soccer program.”

McCann named a top 30 basketball coach under 30

Head Men’s Basketball Coach Martin McCann has been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches 2019 Under Armour 30-Under-30 Team.

The award is presented to the most promising coaches that have achieved a high level of success before the age of 30. The NABC began presenting the Under Armour 30-Under-30 award in 2016, and McCann is one of only two community or junior college coaches to ever make the list. The NABC consists of over 5,000 college coaches that promise to uphold the organization’s four core values: advocacy, leadership, service and education.

“It’s an award that spans all levels of college. To be one of two junior college guys is an absolute blessing. I’m really proud to work at this level,’’ McCann said.

This is the second award McCann has received this year. After posting a 21-9 record and a FCSAA Southern Conference Championship, McCann was named Southern Conference Coach of the Year by

his peers.

“This is credit to our Athletic Department,’’ McCann said. “Anytime you’re getting recognized, things are obviously going well. That’s a credit to everyone involved.”

Since taking over the program in 2014, McCann has posted four 20-win seasons and averaged 22 wins per season.

He now has 109 career victories at PBSC and earned his 100th victory at the college on January 2 of this year with a 90-68 win over Florida State College at Jacksonville.

McCann has produced 31 All-Southern Conference players, including Sophomore Guard Malik Curry, his first All-American and Conference Player of the Year. Twentyone players under McCann’s guidance have moved on to NCAA Division I, including three that played in this year’s NCAA “March Madness” Basketball Tournament.

Additionally, five former players are playing professionally.
